PSL to consider freezing promotion and relegation for a few seasons as a remedy to slash budgets? marc_strydom

Comitis told SowetanLIVE this could be done to “remove the fear factor”‚ and allow clubs to cut non-producing big-name players and field more affordable 18-year-olds.

Comitis said if the league does have a significant portion of its financial might reduced and clubs’ budgets are slashed as a result of the effects of the coronavirus pandemic there are areas of comfort where teams can cut back‚ but it will take hard decisions. “If you want to survive‚ put a team out‚ and there are no more squads of 30‚ you have to trim them down to 23.“There’s a lot of aspects of football where we squander. It’s a fear factor. You don’t want to be in relegation and you get this player‚ get a big name and sometimes you end up paying the price for it.

“If we get to the point where we have serious revenue problems we’re going to possibly have to freeze relegation and promotion for a few seasons.

marc_strydom It's not possible for the league to decide on it's own, a decision that big will need SAFA_net to approve as it means the Second division run by SAFA must not promote to the NFD run by OfficialPSL. The PSL is private but it's platform falls under SAFA
